Consistent albeit frustrating filly but this as good a chance as any she's had

Recent Limerick debut second makes her a likely major player here

Fair sort on the Flat and one to consider on hurdles debut for new yard; reserve

Not disgraced on hurdles debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, could have more to offer

Showed a bit more at Cork last time although jumping still a work in progress

Midfield finishes in both maiden hurdles suggest she'll be of more interest in handicaps
NR	Cosmo Skyline Bay J:TBC T:S Curling	J: T:S Curling	153	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	1.2	6.00/1	25 4%
Yard among the winners of late so worth a market check if getting a run; reserve
9	Vengaboy Bay J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Declan Queally	J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Declan Queally	153	—	06	-	115	-	25d	—	—	-3	1.2	6.00/1	25 4%
Cork run encouraging but room remains for improvement in jumping

Probably stable second-choice but yard won with a newcomer at Ballinrobe so worth a look

67-rated Flat maiden but unlikely type to make an immediate impact hurdling

Mild debut promise not backed up since; best watched for now
8	Too Sharp Bay J:Mr B Barry(7) T:Vincent Laurence Halley	J:Mr B Barry(7) T:Vincent Laurence Halley	153	ht	99	-	96	74	170d	—	—	-2	0.6	16.25/1	66 2%
Plenty keen and none too fluent on both outings last autumn; hood now tried

Soundly beaten in maidens at Fairyhouse and Cork; needs to jump better
